    *                         switching to remote Db2 in classic.  *

    *                         sharing group member data.           *
    *                      3. RECTRACE for IFCID 417 reports only  *
    *                         on the first data section.           *
    *                      4. History Sequential file processing   *
    *                         ABEND002-18.                         *
    *                      5. Repeated PWH DBRM binds.             *
    *                      6. Autodetect=YES option can cause      *

    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply recommended PTF.                       *
    ****************************************************************
    1. Local threads displayed after switching to remote Db2 in
       Classic interface panel ZALLT (and others)
    2. PE Client does not show correct subsystem data when switching
       between data sharing group members - only data for the local
       member is shown.
    3. RECTRACE reports for IFCID 417 only show data of first data
       section.
    4. If an IFCID record is too long, SEQuential file processing
       receives an ABEND002-18.
    5. PWH packages are bound again when PWH starts even after they
       were bound previously already.
    6. Db2 subsystems which does not have proper setup, but have
       been autodetected can cause an abend of collector during
       shutdown of Db2 subsystem itself.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 1. Fix collector to show remote threads after switching to a
       remote Db2 data sharing member.
    2. Fix collector to show data of the selected data sharing group
       member in the PE Client screens.
    3. Fix RETRACE report processing for IFCID 417 so it shows all
       data sections that are in the trace record.
    4. Bypass records that are too long to write to QSAM file and
       issue message KO2O1365I for each record skipped.
    5. Update PWH package bind statistics/timestamp properly after
       a successful bind is run, so it will not be bound again when
       PWH starts the next time.
    6. Handle Db2 shutdown in a proper way.
